In conjunction with revision of the “Group Environmental Policy,” the Mitsui Fudosan Group decided to promote three fields – “reduction of environmental load,” “improving security, safety and comfort as well as ensuring sustainability” and “collaboration/cooperation with various stakeholders” – in an integrated manner as new policies for initiatives in the business areas of operations, housing and urban development.
These three fields are promoted by setting specific initiatives for each business area*. Added as a new perspective to the content of specific initiatives for operations and housing areas are “support use of low-carbon transportation (CO2 reduction initiatives),” “improve health and comfort as well as ensure sustainability” and “coexistence with the community” and for urban development are “promote use of low-carbon transportation,” “integrated management of the entire urban area” and “improve health and comfort as well as ensure sustainability.”
In addition, for in-house initiatives, etc., five pillars – “environmental awareness-raising,” “environmental consciousness initiatives in the workplace,” “research and study of new technologies and advanced examples,” “disclosure of information on environmental initiatives” and “maintenance and utilization of forests” – have been set and “promote use of forests the Group owns as materials for operations (construction materials)” was added as a new perspective to the content of specific initiatives. The initiatives are being taken together with 16 Group companies.
